WELCOME TO THE BIER ZOT BOTTLE LIST

Beer is a voyage for the mind, the soul and the senses. A smell can bring us back in time or create reckless dreams of future possibilities, a taste can soothe or excite, bring solemn joy or insatiable inquisition. We weren’t born beer geeks, beer just convinced us to be.

We believe that everyone has that one special beer: the brew that opens your eyes to a small glimpse of the grandeur that can be created when water, malt, hops, yeast and time are put in the right hands. If you’ve found that beer, talk to us about it, we love the stories. If you haven’t, it is our deepest hope that it lies within the pages of our bottle list.

Water gets very little respect as a beer ingredient, yet it makes up over 90% of what’s in your glass. Historically, beer was brewed for public health, with bacteria being eradicated during the boil. While increasingly irrelevant with modern water processing, many styles were created to accommodate for a brewers local water supply. Pilsner for the sparkling clean waters of Pilsen in the Czech Republic, Porters for the remarkably murky water of London, and Gose for the saline river water of the Gose River in the city of Goslar, just to name a few. As chemists continue to explore the potential of water’s mineral content in the inflation or suppression of flavor, water’s importance will again become paramount. Below, you will find a selection of our lightest beers, an homage to beer’s primary ingredient.

MALT

There would be no beer without malt. Long before hops were discovered, ancient brewers would steep gigantic pots of barley to extract their sugars. This sugar water, called wort, was to birth beer. Wort holds within it boundless potential for fermentation dependent on the variety and the roast level of the grain used to make it. A lightly roasted malt provides a wonderful backdrop for the expression of hops or yeast, while a darker roasted malt can offer a fascinating experience all on its’ own. The use of specialty grains like wheat for tanginess, rye for spiciness, rice for drinkability and peat for smokiness only furthers the potential of the malt bill (the collection of malts used). Typically, the use of malts with more sugars to contribute to the wort results in a stronger beer. After all, more sugar in, more alcohol out. Reach the end of the list at your own risk, at least don’t say we didn’t warn you.

HOPS

Hops, a close genetic cousin to cannabis, are the flowering cones of a perennial dioecious bine, meaning the males and females flower on separate plants (only female hops are used in beer production). Hop bines, which can grow to 20 feet or more, grow best in climates similar to those where grapes are grown, drawing terroir from their genetic heritage, the soil and the ecosystem around them. Often, hops are dried and processed into pellets after harvest, each one harboring alpha and beta acids, brimming with potential to be tapped throughout the year. For hundreds of years hops have served as guardians, protecting beer from rogue bacteria and greatly extending shelf life, while simultaneously providing the perfect bitter balance to the natural sweetness of malt. Below, you will find a range of hop expression; from accent to ambush, floral to fruity, puny to pungent.

YEAST

Brewers make wort, yeast makes beer. Yeasts are eukaryotic microorganisms classified in the Fungi kingdom. During fermentation, yeast converts the residual sugar found in wort to carbon dioxide and alcohol. Thus, beer is born. Today, brewers have countless yeast strains available to them. Yeast can yield a nigh infinite lexicon of flavors dependent on the strain, fermentation temperature, and the degrees plato, the percent of fermentable sugar, of the wort. Spice and funk, bright citrus and dark fruit, the thickness of liquor or the sparkle of champagne, all lays dormant in the potential of yeast. When exposed to bacteria, either held laden in oak foeders or injected, yeast consumes the bacteria and excretes a cornucopia of tart flavors. Yeast is so complex in nature that several breweries, such as Hanssens, focus only on fermentation. The list below provides a surface level walk-through of the possibilities of yeast. We invite you to step outside of your comfort zone, to experience the magic of yeast in all its’ forms.

TIME

Time. The fifth and oft forgotten element of brewing. Once fermentation begins, a beer can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few years to reach fruition. If the beer is bottle-conditioned, it could continue to develop for a decade or more, just like a fine bottle of wine. Our Cellarworks program is an exploration of the mysterious relationship between beer and time. You will see a few bottles throughout the menu marked with vintage, these have been aged in our cellar, tasted each year and brought out for you at what we consider to be the height of enjoyment. Too short a time and you miss the full potential of the cellaring period, but too long and the flavor could begin to fall off or oxidize. In addition to periodic appearances from Cellarworks, this section is home to our limited 22 ounce bombers, marked with a |B|, and 750ml table bottles, marked with a |T|. These bottles are available to us in limited quantities. When they’re gone, they’re gone, so enjoy while you can!
